Answer:

  • <u><em>Option b. just below 30%</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

Please, see attached the <em>histogram that represents the distribution of acceptance rates (percent accepted) among 25 business schools in 2004. </em>

<em />

The<em> median</em> is the value that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50% of the data.

Since there are 25 business schools, the middle value is the number 13.

The height of each bar is the<em> frequency</em> or number of business school for that acceptace rate:

  • The first bar has frequency of 1 school
  • The second bar has frequency of 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 1+3=4.
  • The third bar has frequency 5 schools: cummulative frequency 4 + 5 = 9.
  • The fourth bar has frequency 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 9+3=12.

Then, the 13th value is on the next bar, the fifth bar.

The fifth bar has acceptance rates 25  ≤ rate < 30.

That means that the median acceptance rate is greater than or equal to 25 and less than 30.

Thus, the choice is the option <em>b. just below 30%.</em>

The function below represents the interest Kristina earns on an investment. Identify the term that represents the amount of mone
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The amount of money originally invested which is the principal P = 5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula, the return on investment can be represented on the interest function as;

f(x) = P(1+r)^x

Where

P is the principal which is the initial investment.

r = rate Proportion

x = time (number of years)

Comparing to the given function;

f(x) = 5,000(1 + 0.04)^x

We can see that;

Principal P = 5,000

Rate r = 0.04

time = x

The amount of money originally invested which is the principal P = 5,000

The rejection region is give by 

|z_{test}|\ \textgreater \ z_{\alpha/2}

where the test statistics is given by

\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{980-1000}{100/\sqrt{75}} \\ \\ = \frac{-20}{100/8.6603} = \frac{-20}{11.5470} =-1.73

i.e. |z_{test}|=|-1.73|=1.73

Thus, z_{\alpha/2}=1.73

Using the statistical table, the level of the test is 0.04.
